Chris- Could you explain in more detail what your site does? I just went to it, clicked on "NIH" and got 7 very assorted RESADM messages. ?? My brain may not be blog capable, and I am certainly suspicious of the countless web sites and services that attempt to provide "one stop shopping" but almost always fail to give what many of us have learned to obtain easily from primary sources. STILL...I'm willing to try something new...if it works.
